Adam, I have a first series, only owner, 62cm Rambouillet, PBH 90cm, saddle height 80cm with the B17 Special. Here's a good view of a spec sheet (scroll down to the Ram): http://cyclofiend.com/rbw/geometry.html

[RBW] Those Silver thumbshifters

Someone at Stevie's has a very clean pair of ratcheting originals for $30 or so, if anyone onlist is interested. He also has several pairs of 7 speed Shimano index/friction thumbies. If interested, contact me *off list*. bertin753 () gmail etc. I'll be happy to expedite. -- Resumes, LinkedIn pro

[RBW] Re: Rambouillet Questions

Andy, that's 62 cm center-to-center (64 center-to-top) right? Might be worth noting for OP that Riv uses the CTT measurement in their charts, and that CTC measurement is roughly ~2cm smaller. On Tuesday, October 18, 2016 at 8:15:45 AM UTC-4, ascpgh wrote: > > > Adam, > > I have a first series

There were at least a couple versions were clearance was different. Later ones had more clearance. I have a Redwood (less fancy/expensive Ram, supposedly similar/identical in most non-cosmetic aspects) - fits Compass Barlow Pass tires (~37mm actual). Would definitely fit 32mm plus fenders. Assu

One even more arcane possibility, very unlikely but just in case, one which I experienced just the other day: loose cleat or other metal bits on your shoes. I installed an adaptor plate on my road Sidis, leaving the original SPD attachments loose. On one shoe -- left, IIRC -- this sometimes moves a

[RBW] Re: S&S Protovelo Build

I have no idea what this was originally a prototype for. I tried to get some info from Riv but there is no serial number on it. Geometry and tire clearance make me think that it is in Hilsen / Rambouillet territory. The bell is aged with nothing but the passing of time, i'm excited for the Rive

A cheaper alternative to the Harris cassette is Shimano sells an 11-30 9 speed cassette: http://www.wiggle.com/shimano-hg50-9-speed-cassette/ For $18, it is a pretty good deal. But two things about them. First, there's that 11t small cog that many don't like. Second, I found the quality of Shi

Re: [RBW] Re: Clicking From Crank Area

OK, I just had a brain flash of what your problem could be! Since it's a single speed I assume you running a single speed chain!? Many SS chains use a master link, sometimes the master link can stick out slightly on one side, then if you also have a chain ring bash guard sometimes the master li

[RBW] Re: Rambouillet Questions

Assuming I'm looking at the same unsold listing on eBay, seller notes it'll fit 38mm, which means it's a larger clearance version - it looks like it based on the photos, I think. I'd wager if it fits WTB Horizons, which it likely will, that Paul Racers (advertised 67mm max reach) won't be long e

Good eye! I ride with bars 1.3cm below saddle. That means slammed stem on my 52 Sam with Fistful of seatpost. My Tech standard stem didn't work so I got the Tech Deluxe as it had less rise. Tech bottomed out on Sam. Deluxe stopped about 2mm short of bottoming out so it worked. I don't think I kn
